Where's the video of the two kids fighting first? I want the WHOLE story. Maybe the teen in the video continued to beat on the man's son after the son gave up. Maybe he told the dad that he just finished banging his wife. I want to know what led up to the beatdown. The video I posted on my facebook page showed a little more. The dad also kicked the kid in the face after the hammer fists.

honestly i think eerbody got what they deserved, the man is utterly humiliated and is gonna go to court for what he done, and the kid that got beat up got what he deserved, yes deserved, for mouthing off. Personally if I go up to brock lesnar and get in his face and mouth off, i deserve to be beat down a little bit, and that teen deserved to be beat down, he is the one that got up in the face of someone who is "twice his size"

and everyone else there are hopefully ashamed at themselves for being a part of such a stupid act. If it was just mma then shame on them for having a fight club, if it was a fight to settle a score then i hope whatever they were mad at each other about was worth it, because it sure did get blown out of proportion,..... of course having an organized fight in someones backyard was prolly blowing it out of proportion to begin with, they prolly both wanted to take the same girl to homecoming dance, jerks like these guys give mma a bad name

anyways..... the thing that irked me the very most was the stupid newscasters, someone needs to tell them to report the facts and not give us their stupid, personal diatribe and unintelligent opinions, i hate supposed journalists "commentating" on news. 'News Commentary' is an oxymoron.

I don't think he should have gotten beaten like that, but I don't think he was an "innocent" in what happened to him either. I'm not sure what went wrong between the man shaking his hand and patting him on the back to what looked like the kid calling the man out with whatever he was saying and by physically getting in the man's face, but it was a stupid thing to do. It doesn't make what the man did right or justified, I'm just saying it looks like the kid was "asking" for something, and unfortunately the man decided to let his anger overrule being the "adult". I'd like to think they'd learn a lesson, but I highly doubt it. :wink:

We do agree that many teens - and younger - are out of control. I think it's gotten that way partly because of the breakdown in the traditional family, no discipline, religion is frowned upon and our culture is in decline (largely thanks to my generation touting "anything goes!" "it's OK if it doesn't hurt anyone", etc., just generally selfish beyond belief).

Not sure if my post is one you're referring to, but what I meant by "asking for something" is from the video, the way the kid is literally up on the guy, it looks like the kid was wanting to incite a fight with the man. But, I agree with you, it doesn't matter what the kid was saying or how he was posturing, the man should have handled things differently. If the kid continued to come at him or take a swing at him, then I feel he should've been able to defend himself but more in the manner of subduing the kid, not continually hitting him. And, I also agree the man never should have set the fight up to begin with. As for lessons, hopefully everyone who was there will learn from the consequences of this idiocy.

One pop was all that was needed, agreed 100%. The rest of it was excessive, that's where the friends of that guy should have stepped in and did something.

If this was your kid you wouldnt mind a man pushing and punching your kid?

with all due respect mark, would your 16 year old son be at another mans house "street fighting" his son?

would your 16 year old son step up on a grown man twice his size whose son you just beat up and whose yard you're standing in?

the answer to both of those are no, your son wouldn't even be in that situation to begin with and if he were he wouldn't be that stupid, so your son wouldn't be getting "pushed and punched" by that man

Im not saying the man was right, i'm just saying the kid that got served ain't right either, he ain't no innocent bystander, thats the whole point i was trying to make.... the father didn't go out on the street and pick on some innocent little girl, and some people are treating him like he did...... was it cool what he did, no definitely not

If this was your kid you wouldnt mind a man pushing and punching your kid?

I'm hoping my son would not be so disrespectful as to do that but if he was and he took an ass beating it would be well deserved.

No one wants anyone else to discipline their kids but sometimes it needs to be done.

Like i said one shot to mouth and walk away no need to GnP the kid.

I disagree, Cris. He could have taught the kid a valuable lesson in "be the bigger man". The kid was amped up because he just won the fight and the adult should have
1 not let the fight happen in the first place.
2 once it was done said "it's over now get out of my yard"
3 Go check on your son and make sure he's okay.

Street fighting is stupid, and extremely dangerous. the guy is he didn't seriously injure that kid.

If your ego takes such a big hit from a kid half your size mouthing off to you then you need serious help.

This "one shot would have been fine" is ridiculous. He's 16 yrs old and even One shot is assault.

I've been trying to find out more about this.

Apparently, the kid in the video was harassing the guy's son in school for quite some time. The father set up the fight to resolve the harassment issues. Once the kid showed up, the son backed down from the fight. The kid then got mouthy with the dad and we see what happened next.

I don't know if it will make a difference to any of you, but do you think he was more justified knowing that this kid has been bullying his kid at school? I think the hand-shake and hug at the end was because the dad knew he messed up and was trying to avoid big trouble.

rearnakedchoke

09-06-2011, 05:01 PM

here's my take on this .. the kid shouldn't have gone over their, if he was was bullying the other kid, that sucks, but he doesn't deserve a beatdown by a man ... the man is dumb on many points, he shouldn't have tried to hold a fair fight at his house a) because its dumb and dangerous and b) if he knew his son didn't want to fight and still held it ... the man should get charged with assault and any other charge that goes with setting up a fight on your property ... hopefully he goes to jail for a while to realize how dumb he really is ... but by the looks of it, it probably won't help ...

Where I grew up I had to fight five guys at a time calling me a gringo. I would have killed for a fair fight. This kid got it and decided against in.
Then this fake little hard ass decides he's bigger and better then he is and steps up to a grown man.

Little guy got taught some respect for his elders and that is the bottom line. Again though coulda did without the hammerfists.

...so a kid half your size ,for which someone else is legally responsible, gets in your face so you quickly throw the first punch in the kids jaw...that part is okay? How young or small do they have to be before it's not okay?

The guy had every right to physically remove the kid from his property but throwing a close fisted right cross to someone that much smaller than you is unacceptable. what followed is definitely unacceptable (which you agree, so it's not an issue).
I think the kid challenged him to knock him out "Oh I'd like to see that"
and when that first punch didn't do the job that macho man tried to hit him until he did knock him out.

Nothing in this video supports your agrument anyways because the kid didn't throw a punch until the adult hit him.

A smart ass 16 year old kid got in a grown mans face in a threatening manner. That is what happened.

He then got cracked in the jaw. That is what happened.

When I was in school if we hag a beef we could go to the coach set up gyn time lace them up and go 3 rounds in the ring. Most everyone took boxing so everyone could hold their own. Then my JR year they took that away because a parent whined when their kid lost. The libs took it away. The next year school fights quadrupled and they started to bring knives and such. The next year after that all school fights equaled automatic arrest and a record. Long story short we we settled it like men and not thugs the school was safer and less people got hurt. The liberal way people got hurt stabbed and arrested.

I think it's up to the grown man to be the bigger person. kid is a hothead and the man was a hothead. Both were wrong. in those instances it's the adults responsibility to be rational. especially if he was so concerned with it being a fair fight in the first place.

A smart ass 16 year old kid got in a grown mans face in a threatening manner. That is what happened.

He then got cracked in the jaw. That is what happened.

Has everything to do with my arguement Mark.. I grew up with people just like this kid. They push and push until you stop them. This young man learned a very important lesson that day.

since when is having your hands at your side "a threatening manner" where I come from you don't punch a man, let alone a kid, when he has his hands at his sides.
what was the lesson he learned "punch first or get punched"? that should serve him well for the rest of his life. that's probably what happened to the dad to teach him that lesson.

I take it you have never done the "chest bump" before in your personal life. More power to you brother for never being in the scuffle.

Were I'm from when someone puts their face in yours like that it's only a matter of time no matter were your hands are.

yeah , but i guess it's how easily you feel threatened.

I'd have considered wrestling the kid to the ground and holding him there until he chills out.

I guess I don't need to prove anything.

I have to really agree with the idea that this all boils back down to the lack of respect we see too often in our society.

A few days ago I was driving a mom's less than sporty car so she could drive mine. Her AC was out and she was going to pick my kids up while I went to a doctor's appointment. I didn't want her riding around in the heat so I sent her in my van and I took her car. I pull up at a light beside a car full of teenage boys. I get this yelled at me "Look at the white b*tch in the Bull Sh*t." In compeltely honesty my first reaction was do I have time to go slap that kid in his face before this light changes again. Why? Not because I'm some bully looking to hit teenagers but because the level of disrespect was so out of control I felt at some point this kid did not get popped in the mouth when he needed it by his parents so I would be doing the world a favor by doing so. Disrepect by kids just pisses me off. It does it when my own kids are and I quickly put them in place. Why allow someone else's child to treat me any different than I would allow my own kids to treat someone? If one of my kids ever did something like that and someone put them in their place I would be thankful.

That being said the gnp really took this past a level of trying to show some punk he wouldn't be disrespectful. That was more like I'm pissed that my son wouldn't kick your butt like I wanted him to so now I'm going to do it and you popping off just gave me a bigger reason to.

What those kids said to you is creepy and extreme. Yes, they needed discipline in their lives, obviously their parents didn't supply that and it's too late to start now.

I'm all for spanking kids on the bottom. I don't consider that "hitting" or violence. What would the reaction have been if you slapped them? It would probably have been escalating violence to you. Parents have to teach their kids respect and limits, then they wouldn't dream of being so disrespectful to adults.

Mark

09-06-2011, 11:41 PM

I'm hoping my son would not be so disrespectful as to do that but if he was and he took an ass beating it would be well deserved.

No one wants anyone else to discipline their kids but sometimes it needs to be done.

Like i said one shot to mouth and walk away no need to GnP the kid.

I sure didnt see any disipline. All I seen was caveman tactics. What if he would of broke his jaw with the one shot to the mouth?

He taught him that he can go on through life picking on people as long as he's either bigger, or throws the first punch...

This is one of those debates on here where neither side is going to budge I don't think.

I think the man could have verbally adressed the kid in a manner that didn't escalate the situation example: not using the phrase "before I knock you out".
if that failed he was more than capable of restraining the kid and throwing him off his property.

Do I think the kid was in the right? no. he was a little punk who probably bullies everyone.
still doesn't okay a grown man pummeling him.
The first punch lead to the rest of it so I believe the first punch was wrong too.
come on guys... you're all adults. would you really feel like you adressed the situation by knocking out a kid? that cross he threw had every intention of knocking the kid out. not "smacking him in his smart mouth".

if the kid was bigger than the adult physically it may very well become a self defense issue, but this wasn't the case.

This is what I would have been okay with. The setting, it being a PUNCH, and the repeated blows to the teen while he was on the ground are where this is all so wrong. I'm all about letting some punk know they have picked the wrong one to mess with, but this dad crossed the line into being a punk himself.

Now, would you still do that if you knew it was Mark Hughes' son?

I have learned a hard lesson in life which is to never say never. With that being said I pray that I would not lose my temper and resort to hitting him with my fists. If I did then I would be in the wrong (imo). Hitting with fists is not a form of discipline but domestic violence. Period.

It boils my blood just thinking that my child would presume it ok to disrespect a grown man that way.

Do I want other people hitting my child? Totally not. But it wasn't like this kid didn't deserve a clap in the mouth. Tough question and there is no good answer.

If I knew the boys father I would do my best to avoid doing anything and let Mark handle it. Not out of fear but out of respect I'm not scared of anyone whether they can beat me or not. And I'm pretty darn Mark Hughes would never allow his son to grow up a brat.

Random 16 year old punk in my face acting wild.. Might have to crack him in the jaw and damn who his father is because he deserves an ass whooping too for raising a little •••• like this and he's welcome to my backyard too.

Not trying to grandstand and sound like a tough guy or anything I just think people are just plain disrespectful and a good beating is in order for unruly folks... I personly could never ever catch myself disrespecting another man in his own home regardless of the situation. I think I'm pretty mild... The bible once told us to have the whole village stone the disobedient child.

Who are you to decide what another man's child deserves? How many kids have you raised?

Not trying to grandstand and sound like a tough guy or anything I just think people are just plain disrespectful and a good beating is in order for unruly folks... Do you feel this way for all unruly people or just children? Is it only people who talk disrespectful that you feel need a beating? Or are you just enforcer of mouthy children? I personly could never ever catch myself disrespecting another man in his own home regardless of the situation. I think I'm pretty mild... The bible once told us to have the whole village stone the disobedient child.

Seriously? The child should be stoned simply for disobedience? You need to read that again. AND the parents brought the child to the village and asked for help, did they not?

The bible also says if thy hand offends thee, cut it off. How many hands do you have? Do you still have eyes, Cris?

Cris, you can't be the one to judge what punishment someone may or may not need/deserve. If you want to use the bible to back up your stance then how are you picking and choosing which justice you are dishing out and which ones you are ignoring?

You don't have to answer, Cris. I know you are a good God loving person with a good heart. I have felt the same as you in the past. These are just things I think anyone should consider before deciding if you are actually doing God's will by assaulting a child.

Ok I really don't agree with what this man did. He beat up this kid. If we knew for sure what was said and it was just opened hand pop to the mouth I may feel different. And while I do think 16 year olds are "kids" I lean towards thinking that at 16 if you want to act like a grown man by getting in the face of someone who actually is a grown man, well sort of are asking for it. If I had not seen so many darn disrespectful kids maybe I would feel different. But we have teenagers all around us who had a piss poor up bringing and now the normal adults in society have to not only deal with them as disrespectful teens but as inmates in training.

I know it is hard to say how I would deal with things until they occur but I would hope if this was my child my course of action would be two fold. 1.) Confront the adult. 2.) Tell my kid if he wasn't acting stupid none of this would have happened.

Please tell me you are joking? An adult deserves to be disrespected by a child? No. Don't get me wrong, I would not expect just because of someone's age their should sit back and let adults around them act foolishly. There are some situations where a teenager stepping in to prevent harm to themselves or others that I would certainly not consider disrespectful but brave. I've heard of many teenage boys (and one girl who could swing a frying pan good) taking it to their dad because they got tired of abuse or seeing their moms abused. But when a teenager themselves is in the wrong (a 16 year old knows a back yard brawl is wrong) what gives them the right to say anything to adults involved who are in the wrong too? None. That just adds another wrong factor to a jacked up situation. This dad is stupid and this kid is a punk. Neither displayed good judgement. I would however guess that this teen will think twice before popping off to an adult in the future.
